DEKNO Models Decals
Posted by russ on Monday, March 3, 2014 6:22 PM
I am building DEKNO's "Travel Air Mystery Ship" resin model (1/72). I have finished most of the construction and painting but am having trouble with the decals. They seem to go on easy enough but curl up on the edges when they're in place The smaller decals just don't want to sit down at all. I have tried Microset, Solvaset, and Decal Fix but nothing seems to help. I have tried making my own decals but without success. I have tried to contact DEKNO to purchase more decals but cannot get through. Their website permits me to order more models but that's it - no customer service at all. I have put a lot of time and effort in this little model and would like to finish it. HELP, Russ russwalkerad@sbcglobal.net

I can't say it enough . . . . Slide your decals onto your models surface that's damp and sticky with Future floor polish. Position them and work out any bubbles/wrinkles using a brush that's wet with Future. Then, once in place and mostly cured re-coat them with additional Future. They'll set like stone, won't curl and will have no silvering.

In queue:  Tamiya 1/35 Quad Tractor or a scratch build project.

Ditto on what bill said. Another plus is that the Future will pull the decals down into panel lines just like Solvaset. Protects them while weathering too.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
